This little grinder has had a fair bit of use now and seems to be holding up well. A few design flaws that will need ironing out. Firstly the crap plasticy skirts do little or nothing to contain the grindings from escaping, they need changing for rubber and extending a little to stop the shite getting all over the pullstart and cooling vents, second thing is the flimsy belt guard which I dont thing will be long for this world. May add a few braces before it gets trashed. Other than that its all good and will probably invest in a Greenwheel for it.

Still alive and kicking, just done an oil change, grease up and gave it a check over , all is well. Belts,bearings etc all good. brake cable needed a tweek and the engine a good blow out with an air line.

Hard question to answer, but a set of teeth, how often would you need to change these? I know this depends on many factors but just a rough idea. I only ever hire stump grinders so never have to deal with maintenance, but I'm considering getting one of these. Seems a no brainer as I'm hiring mini grinders at £80 every few weeks.
